Terrorism is a complex issue' - Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf

Islamabad: July 23: Pakistan's President Pervez Musharraf has said that terrorism is an extremely complex issue and the neighbouring countries are required to workout a common strategy to deal with the menace.   Talking to an Iranian delegation led by Syed Mehdi Heshemi, acting interior minister of Iran, on Tuesday evening, President Musharraf said that Pakistan is a victim of terrorism and is key ally in the fight against terror. He said the neighbouring countries are needed to join hands to eliminate terrorism and extremism from the region and also from the world.   Reflecting on the importance of interaction between Iran and Pakistan, the President said that the existing relations between the two countries must be enhanced as greater economic activity would result in further improving Iran-Pakistan relations.   Mr Heshemi said that Pakistan and Iran should enhance economic cooperation in the fields of trade and industry. He said the present trade of $600 million can be enhanced manifold if serious efforts are made. Mr Heshemi added that to achieve these objectives tourism should be promoted between the two countries.  Source: http://www.asianage.com/presentation/leftnavigation/news/international/%E2%80%98terrorism-is-a-complex-issue%E2%80%99.aspx
